Answer:
the slope is : -5/2
y-intercept is: 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
We need to remember that we have independent events when a given event is not affected by previous events, and we can verify if two events are independnet with the following equation:

For this case we have that:

And we see that 
So then we can conclude that the two events given are not independent and have a relationship or dependence.
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we can define the following events:
A= In a certain computer a memory failure
B= In a certain computer a hard disk failure
We have the probability for the two events given on this case:

We also know the probability that the memory and the hard drive fail simultaneously given by:

And we want to check if the two events are independent.
We need to remember that we have independent events when a given event is not affected by previous events, and we can verify if two events are independnet with the following equation:

For this case we have that:

And we see that 
So then we can conclude that the two events given are not independent and have a relationship or dependence.
13/8 = 1 5/8
Since 13/8 = 1 5/8, A and B cannot be correct.
5/8 > 1/2
Since 5/8 > 1/2, 13/8 is closer to 2 than to 1. Therefore, the answer is D. closer to 2 than to 1.
